Shahzam

Is overrated, I don’t think he’s bad but he isn’t some one in a million IGL that sentinels couldn’t live without. I could easily see other top IGLs joining sentinels and then still being able to win tournaments

there's a reason why you have 1300+ comments and 0 stars

braindead take+ratio

Sen doesn’t have a coach, he probably does much of that work too. You have to count that too.

true NA fans are high on that copium rn ...

The only IGL that I heard that can be on par with ShahZaM based on shot-calling, is FNS. Shahz is no debate the best IGL because of how he leads his whole team while still having the fragging cabability.

Not a big Sen fan but he is anything but overrated

it's true, csgo proves it all

He played against the most overrated EU Team (fnatic) 2 times and in both games he struggled hard. All Maps was close af. Im calling fnatic overrated because they ain't one of the Top 5 EU Teams right now. Everyone is replaceable! the thing is if you say Shahzam could be replaced without making the Team worse, they will tell you Sentinels won so much with Shahzam but the thing is people forget these fights could be much easier and much more comfortable if they would make some critical changes. Sen is a Team that almost never lose but they also struggle to much for being the best Team in the World right now. To be serious, i don't even think hes seriously IGLing. The Sen Players are all mature enough to do things how its supposed to be without someone telling them dont do that or that.

terrible take

i said this a while ago and got lots of SEN fans malding at me. it wasn't even an offensive statement either, shahzam is a great player, one of the best right now but people make it seem like he's a turbo genius 300 IQ savant igl

like man put any mediocre igl with his skill/experience in sentinels and they would continue to dominate, they don't have any advanced tactics or reads bro. their skill is their vast experience and talent distribution letting them make really smooth mid round decisions that are backed up by great mechanics

thanatos11 would be a way better igl

he's the best fragging igl. On whether he is the best igl or not, we as viewers don't know enough to tell.

i think shahzam has very good prep for every game but i feel sen are a team of 5 very intelligent players so his in game leadership(igl) isnt that crazy its just the synergy of the team that makes this team the best in the world and not individual calls
as daps said this game requires 5 intelligent and synergetic players to excel and thats why sen are on top

obviously not a godlike tactician like gla1ve in csgo but he is a good fragging igl, I wouldnt say overrated cuz no1 who actually knows what he is talking about (unlike most vlr who are hard stuck silver players who dont even understand what they are watching) thinks of him as this tactically insane igl, pretty much like sentinels, they dont have any impressive strats or weird comps, they play simple comps, have strong yet simple strats, play off each other really well and just play the game

all these comments are just trying to discredit shahz. just as you cannot tell if its his igling that has so much impact or if its just how goated his team is, you cannot assume he has no impact because his team is so good.

but the fact that his entire team gives him props for being a good igl and leading the team to where it speaks more than anything us armchair analysts say.

if the team agrees with him and the team is wining, why is he overrated?

Ok

I think other than the stuff that he already does as an igl/coach/analyst is huge, but don't forget how quickly they adapted when Tyson was added to the roaster. Let's not forget how they must've felt when those articles and stuff came out of sinatraa and his accusations and then suddenly needed someone. Imo it wasn't easy to accept this but they had to keep going no matter what. Also people keep forgetting that when TenZ got added Shahz had to play sova on most of the maps (he wasn't good, but we can see the improvement) and he sacrificed his loved jett role so that his team can succeed.
Also TenZ was like a diamond that was sharp but not shining enough. Shahz made sure he felt at home and he worked with him until he could shine to his max potential.

8/8

Huge respect to him for stepping up to talk about the RIOT's shortcomings about the tournament during his stream today. It seems his team was able to prac first time today (3rd day in Berlin).

this is the worst take ive seen in a century u realize shaz is prob more important than Tenz on their team, they don't even have a coach meaning shaz makes all of their strats

Tenz gets most attention for all the sick plays that he does, but imo shaz and sick are the best players of sentinels, without them i don't see sen succeeding.

That make kinda sense. Look, Shahz only play jett and now they has better jett(tenz). His sova is lackluster. Like if they bring an igl that can play sova better they would be better. But they also will need a coach if they gonna take in a new igl since shahz is the strat maker

how tho ,
He has the most impact in the team. He Literally Downloads the opponents team and counter strat them hard , u can see on ALOT of occasions he has the read on the enemy team .
im gonna get downvoted cuz i get hate for actually supporting a player so whatever
